We remember Jerry Leiber (1933-2011)

If you like Elvis' music then you will remember that Jerry Leiber was one of his chief songwriters.  He also wrote some of the biggest hits of the pop-rock era along with his partner, Mike Stoller.

Leiber's songbook includes Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" & "Hound Dog", "Stand by me" by Ben E. King and "Love Potion #9", a hit in the late 1950's by The Clovers and later by The Searchers.

Great songwriter.
